MOVIE REVIEW: Don’t Look Up

Let’s go straight to granting a measure of consent. Punch everything with satire, Adam McKay. Punch everything you can. Split our ears, raise our eyebrows, and lay every bit of shame and blame in front of any intended targets you choose. The attacks are warranted and […]

Review: “Free Guy”

Guy is not the kind of character you’d usually want to play in a shooter game. In fact, he’s not the kind of character you’d normally be able to play at all. Guy is a non-playable character, or NPC, a background figure created to populate a video game’s environment, whether to just provide atmosphere or […]

Sure, Blade Runner and its sequel made a nice job of updating Hammett and Chandler to the 21st century but both films flopped hard on release.
